); SAEximRunCond expanded to false Errors-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Before this subject deteriorates into what trial lawyers and politicians excel at (twisting words to obscure the truth), consider what happens if time does not exist.
Velocity is distance moved per unit of time, or distance is velocity times time. If time does not exist, then nothing moves. Reproduction becomes impossible. Even thought becomes impossible because neurons fire depending on the pulse rate at synapses. Not to mention communication and other things that are frequency sensitive, including light and radiant heat. And then there's the matter of Earth rotating in several ways. Since all of these things do exist, time exists. It is what goes on inside the brains of quantum physicists that leads them to make rash statements about things they cannot measure. As I recall, the derivation of the Planck length seemed suspect. But it's all good fun, right up there with building a basement time standard - actually a frequency standard and a counter. There was a time when a time standard was a burning candle, or dripping water. Accuracy is limited by the available technology. Bill Hawkins Come to think of it, popular magazine writers are pretty good at twisting words, too. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
